With the Jackie Chan/Jet Li movie "The Forbidden Kingdom" opening this month,It got me thinking about fight scenes.
So I was wondering what people thought was the greatest fight scene ever filmed?
It could be something short and brutal like Bourne or grand and intricate like Police Story.

'nuff said. It's the longest fight scene in cinema without the camera changing scenes/cutting. Its a steady shot from start to finish as the main guy kicks more ass than I've seen on 5 separate floors (the camera follows him as he fights).

I wonder what happened when a person messed up, redoing all that would be tiresome!

Jeff Loomis: He's so good, he doesn't need to be dead to have a tribute.

I read that a couple of the stunt men were actually hurt and they just kept rolling.Heartless bastards.
But like you said if they had to keep reshooting that scene by the end of the day nobody would have had a leg to stand on.
